  • David Hansen: TO TOUCH

    A brief, touching moment (pun intended) between two people insisting on connection. Just what we need right now. Many thanks.

  • David Hansen: Photos with my Rapist: A One-Minute Monologue

    Succinct. Real. Brilliant. What is truly heartbreaking is that anyone could choose to perform this perfect, brief monologue. I recommend that you do.

  • David Hansen: Socks

    Like "Green Eggs and Ham" featuring a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, this is a delightful, comic café au lait of a sketch. Cheers!

  • David Hansen: REACH

    Emmett and Samuel Hanly have created a short play that rises in tension and absurdity, as colorful characters collide, matching wits and superpowers with a wry and inscrutable desk manager in a seedy motel in the middle of nowhere; worth a read and a recommendation, "Reach" is a divine comedy.

  • David Hansen: “Blanche and Lousie with Their Eyes Turned Skyward”

    Schilling and Czarnota crafted a playfully delirious short script to educate and entertain children about the history of two virtually unknown historic female aviators and describe the science of air travel with pluck and moxie. It's my favorite kind of play for kids, one which respects their intelligence and isn't afraid to be poetic, fantastic, and progressive.

  • David Hansen: Matthew Weaver Meets the Goddess Aphrodite

    Important advice from the goddess of love delivered directly but with compassion, as is only appropriate. Weaver (the playwright) delivers this metaphoric vignette swiftly, poetical but with with helpful realism. It is what it is, and it is recommended!

  • David Hansen: The Moment (a monologue)

    "... and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes." - Joyce

    Matthew Weaver has composed a modern Molly Bloom, full of joy and youth and wonder.

  • David Hansen: EVERYBODY HATES MARIAH CAREY

    As someone who has recently experienced not one but two holiday seasons of death, I find the loopiness of this short play to be particularly delightful. Carnes taps into our collective annual schizophrenic desire to warm embrace the holidays and to crush them beneath the cold heel of reality. An absurd, easy-to-stage two-hander for your next festival of offbeat holiday plays!

  • David Hansen: THAT KIND OF BOY [A 1-MINUTE PLAY]

    In sixty seconds Martin up-ends expectations and assumptions, turning that apprehensive frown upside down. Touchdown!

  • David Hansen: Fable

    With "Fable" DeVita delivers a heartfelt vaudeville for a misinterpreted and forgtotten entertainer, featuring smart dialogue with snap and style. At its center, it is a story of abuse and misuse, on the personal and professional level, and how three strong women were in familial combat for the professional advancement of men. A cunning and delightful debate on the value of truth, and a sincere valentine for Baby June. Kudos!
